How Do Filipinos View Balikbayans?

[omega2959]

 

Tama. Yung mga tumatanggap ng padala eh buhay donya samantalang mga OFW, daig pa ang pulubi kung magtipid.

 

 

That's the problem with some. Those with OFW family members should be made aware of the real plight of their loved ones working abroad.

 

yup. sagad talaga ang tipiid

[MRROUGHSEX]

Here's my analysis of OFW's plight.

 

First 4 years -- Struggling

From 5-8 years - Settling

From 9-12 years - Stabilizing

 

So next time you see an OFW, ask them how long have they been working abroad. If less than 13 years, hirap pa yan. :)

[paulwalker007]

more open minded because they see the differences in other countries

They see Balikbayans as very rich people.

balikbayans? from my own personal experiences its been a mix of positive and negative. some people seem friendly about it while others seem to harbor some animosity if a person is a balikbayan. how do you view balikbayans.

 

by the way ...im 27, born in the PI but moved to the US when i was 6.

 

 

well if you grew up there, I rarely have any thing against balikbayans. The balikbayans I hate are those who moved there when they were in their late 20's then umiwi after 2 years (may green card na). then pagbalik ditto kunwari di na marunong magtagalog or nagbubulul bululan mag tagalog. I hate those kind of balikbayans

kaasar nga yun kasi 2 years lang nakalimutan na kaagad magtagalog. yung iba nga na dun na lumaki pinipilit magtagalog ng derecho tapos sila 2 years lang nakalimot na kaagad

saccrifice.

I had relatives who were former OFWs or are OFWs at the moment. For them, when they get back here, ramdam mo na miss-na-miss nila ang closeness (geographically and emotionally) ng kapamilya. Yun lang, may mga nandito naman na kamaganak o kaibigan na ang tingin sa kanila ay ATM machine.

 

Mos, if not all, Filipino immigrants that I personally know... when they go back here for a visit, their down to earth naman.

let's say majority of us na nandito sa Pinas eh iisipin na maraming dollars at pasalubong hahaha kahit ako ganun iniisip ko but siyempre mas bibilib ka sa nagawa na niya abroad lahat ng hirap para makamit nila lahat yan.

I agree with you. Mas mabigat sa kanila umalis para kumita ng pera.
